The Lying Game Recap: Double Dibs

Most Read

We are so incredibly grateful for The Lying Game. After all, what else will fill our need for small-screen thrills when Pretty Little Liars ends for the summer tonight? The Lying Game is proving to be just as intense and suspenseful as PLL though. A new favorite? Totally possible.

Here are the moments from last night that had you guys tweeting like crazy:

We were so excited when Emma found her birth mother, but we should have known that it was too good to be true. Emma's real mom clearly wants to keep her identity a secret, but why?
The guys on this show haven't proven to be the most straightforward (even Ethan seems to know more than he's saying), so we were pleasantly surprised when Justin, the new boy in town, took matters into his own hand by stealing Laurel's phone, snapping a pic of himself, and putting his number in. Cutest. Flirting. Technique. Ever. @vampirefan2 agreed: So cute. Wish a guy would do that for meWe know that it was Mads's dad who stole Sutton's laptop, which is why it was so frusterating to see Ethan being framed for the crime. We were screaming, "HE DIDN'T DO IT" at the TV right up until we remembered that it cannot hear us. Sigh . @Mads_Pla predicted: What if Mads dad did it to break them up?, but @ilooooveSelenaGomez predicted: I think the brother did it so Ethan would stay away from Emma
Even though cheating is wrong, we were rooting for an Emma and Ethan kiss and were pretty surprised when they didn't go for it, especially when they were mere millimeters apart. @PaytonMcDermott felt the same way: so bummed Ethan didn't kiss Emma
Although we're not exactly surprised that Mads's dad continued to be the absolute worst ever, your predictions did shock us and get us thinking. @SwiftChick13 said: Maybe he's the birth father. Tons of you sounded off in agreement.

As soon as we saw Justin, we knew that it would mean drama with a capital d. It wasn't long before a love triangle had— he likes Laurel, but Char had already called dibs. Uh oh.
Laurel's got a good heart (or so it seems for now), but that doesn't mean she doesn't have some attitude. She showed off her signiture sass when Ethan came to dinner at the Mercers', asking, "How was prison?" Ouch. Why not start with something a bit less controversial like the weather, or movies, or literally any other topic?
Week after week, Sutton's parents are proving to be the most awesome parents ever. We've come to love and expect their trusting and kind nature. But is it all too good to be true? @biebrfact_swag says yes: they are wayyyyy too shady!
Not to a pick a favorite twin (but to totally pick a favorite twin), we are Team Emma. We love her snarky comebacks, even in dramatic moments. "You want me to trust you? Don't hide in my room." Good point!

So what do you guys think? Is Mads's dad the birth father? Why did Sutton and Emma's mom work so hard to hide her identity? Can we trust Sutton's parents or are they in on this web of lies, as well? Comment below!
